Public bug reported:
System freezes especially while downloading big files. While downloading
the 2.6.29 source code to get the driver my system freezes two times.
Changing to console isn't possible.
If I ping my router at least 10% of the packets get lost. Surfing is
slow most likely because of the packet losing.
If I use the 2.6.29 mainline kernel from ppa or install the linux-
backport-modules the problems are fixed. I really think that a newer
ath5k should be moved from backport to standard kernel. Otherwise
Atheros users will have fun but maybe only my chipset has this severe
problems but according to #ubuntu+1 I am not the only one who needs the
backports.
There is one problem with the backport ath5k module. It can't connect to
the european wlan channel 12 and 13 but the Ubuntu 2.6.28 one and the
one of 2.6.29 can, so please fix this. Is there a separate bug report
needed?
Bug #347848 seems to be similar but in my case the mouse can't be moved.
Bug #341952 too but I didn't got the "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration
timeout" message.
